GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

i went there from 6-8 grade and it was alright, it had nice diversity and i felt comfortable being there. I was on the principles honor roll and got a couple of presidential awards. In my three years there i only had one issue with some girl trying to fight me but that it, nothing happened.

I am a current 8th grader at Bancroft Middle School and of my three years here this schools main problem is drugs (vaping in the bathrooms). Overall the teachers and staff are very supportive and their are many resources for homework help and etc. It is mainly the students that are bad at Bancroft....

Think twice before sending a child to this school. Maybe with a new administration things will change. Notice the decline in reviews over the years. There is a reason for that.
